So we went from a Boat to a Lift to a Car to a Rolfcopter.

What a long death.

roflcopter = rolling on the floor laughing, can't operate 'til eyes refocus

Says you are from Belfast on your profile. Belfast is still in Northern Ireland.

Northern ireland is still part of the UK

Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom, therefore she is still YOUR Queen regardless of what you think of the monarchy.

I knew rofl, I remember the first time this girl said that to me on Bebo I was like 'Who the **** is ralf?' :joker:

Didnt know that last part though, sounds abit robotic.

Not if you don't particularly care. I'm unsure of how many records Diana Ross has sold but I don't really give a **** so I'm not about to look it up.

And yes, Di did die in a car crash. Alec Trevelyan drove his rolfcopter into the tunnel and caused the collision.

Oh ****.

My arse. Only if he considers her to be.

Harry im going to go look up what year Diana died.

;)

Ohh 1997.

A nice mature response to a valid point, well done Paddy.

That day she died sucked. Sky cancelled The Simpsons all evening and just flashed images of her up on screen.

You was 2 then.

Mathematic prodigy in da haus.

:joker::joker:

Way to ruin the joke Harry :nono:

No FACT, she is Queen of the country that he resides in. He may not like the fact, but it is indisputable.

Not really. It's a governmental fact, sure, an invisible fact, but you cant litteraly say she is his queen. She's just this oldie living far away from him in a house worth a lot more money. 'Queen' is just a word. A title. If no connection exists between the title and Paddy then she means fuck all to him, really.

:shrug:

While she is an oldie etc is true, by nature of the fact she is Queen of the country he resides in she is still his queen. He may not like that fact, may disagree with the idea of the monarchy, may even disagree that Northern Ireland should still part of the UK. Thats immaterial, she is still his queen whether he wants her to be or not.

how do you roll on the floor laughing and type at the same time?
i've tried it, but cant do it, how do you do it?

I have to disagree. Again, on paper she is the Queen, but if she means nothing to you, she's sweet fuck all, really. And the term his Queen is a bit patronizing towards him in that light, suggesting the Queen's domination over her loyal subjects, of which he does not count himself a member.

Seriously, just try that line in a republican pub in the north and see would they agree with you. What's written on paper means nothing compared to what's in your heart. In my mind if you live in NI but consider yourself Irish, then you are Irish.

His Queen is useless without any true connection. It's just a byte on a computer. Ink on paper. Files in a building. To that extent yeah, it's a fact.

He was beginning to believe that she actually died in a lift :joker:

This.

Yeah, Thats really well said.

I was actually thinking when I read the post earlier about that, all the ways you could possibly die in a lift.

I came up with 3 so far,

A Guy takes out a knife and .. you know.

Its a glass lift, and you decide to lie against the wall and then.. there goes the window.

Or you get caught in the doors on the way out or in.

pmsl. seriously.

Rubbish, and there's literally thousands upon thousands of people in Northern Ireland who would disagree with you on this.

True :joker:

Cable and safety mechanism breaks and lift drops down shaft from high up

While its probably the wrong forum to get into this one, there also thousands upon thousands of people in Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom who would agree with me. Regardless of where his loyalties (no pun intended) lies

Just out of curiosity Shasown, where you that member who had a Great Britain flag as his banner and a picture of the queen and stuff on his avatar or was that another member?

I rarely saw his posts and havent seen them in a while, but you seem to have no Avi or Sig.

Nope not me, I had a picture of old JC with the words "he may love you but I think you are a see you next thursday" as an avatar but no piccy as signature.

Might be this member you are talking about

There is another but I look for him in a mo.

No that's Spitfire. He used to be a regular years ago. Bit over the top with the patriotism alright.

Nothing wrong with being proud of your country but over the top patriotism baffles me. Like people who genuinly think their country is the best in the world coz' that's where they were born. People who actually let their patriotism govern every aspect of their life and hobbies.

Nationalism is a scourge. It is the measles of humanity.

So why do you think the Good Friday Agreement eliminated the requirement of any member of parliment to take any Oath of Allegiance? Give it a rest Shasown.

Its called compromise, you know give and take, it ensured that nationalists elected to the assembly would actually turn up and take part. there were lots of other minor requirements as well, you know really little things like the cessation of violence.

Yes, a cessation on both fronts. Looks like the Oath wasn't too difficult a thing for Unionist Northern Irish people to let go of either. Again, means nadda to many up there.

Yeah right as soon as it came up as a point of contention the Ulster Unionists said "no problem thats alright". I seem to remember Unionists denouncing proposals to remove the Oath of Allegiance. In the end common sense and political pressure won out.

Maybe it was considered to be a relatively small price to pay on the path for peace.

Exactly. It was totally unnecessary to the running of the country. So yeah, Patrick has every right to go meh to anything regarding the Queen.

Its obviously not a real article, look at the bottom.
Funny though
